     | 4,592 views

    Does the mode of baptism matter? If Scripture is our guide, how we are baptised, as well as why we are baptised, is extremely important.

    “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule ...read more

    What was confessed through baptism reflects your understanding of relationship to Christ.

    “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptised into Christ Jesus were baptised into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in ...read more

    Mystery Of The Triune God

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 18, 2011
     | 4,824 views

    God’s triune nature is known through revelation. As we see Him revealed through the Word, we understand better who He is.

And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’ So God created man in his own image, in the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,850 views

    Universalism suggests that everyone will be saved because they will realise their error shortly after death. God warns that such thinking is wrong, and now calls all people to life in His Son.

    “Just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.” God is God of the second chance, the third chance, the ...read more

But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he ...read more
